When your baby carrier is in daily use, it's bound to pick up spills, stains, and everyday messes. Whether it’s spit-up, snack mishaps, or a diaper emergency, keeping your Ergobaby carrier clean is key to maintaining its quality and comfort for both you and your baby.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to spot clean, machine wash, and properly maintain your carrier to keep it fresh and functional.
